Reversing Type 2 diabetes with Stem cells. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of diabetes in the world and is considered to be a metabolic disorder that causes high-blood glucose levels and leads to insulin resistance and insulin deficiency.
Usually A normally functioning human pancreas secretes insulin in low amounts. The glucose found in our food also stimulate the secretion of natural insulin and the main role of this insulin is to help transport nutrients into our body’s cells that can be used as a source of energy.
When the glucose levels in our bloodstream begins to rise, the pancreatic beta cells also increase the secretion of insulin to help avoid hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetics however cannot process this function and cause a rapid buildup of glucose in our bloodstreams. The 2 main problems associated with type 2 diabetes is our pancreas not producing enough insulin and our bodies not using the insulin properly. This causes systematic breakdown which can cause other organs to not function properly and eventually fail. Currently the only known way to cure diabetes type 2 is with stem cells.
